title = "Interfacial effects on fatigue and fracture in discontinuously reinforced metal matrix composites",
abstract = "Interfaces in conventional monolithic alloys exert an important influence on fatigue and fracture behavior. In discontinuously reinforced metal matrix composites (MMCs), the role of interface is even more dominant. The interfacial is higher in MMCs and the interfaces are generally of high energy and chemically unstable. This paper reviews the factors which can affect interfacial strength in discontinuously reinforced MMCs, and the ways in which interfacial strength can be controlled. The effects of interfacial strength on fatigue crack propagation and fracture behavior are then illustrated.",
